Manchester United winger Antony has vowed that there is much more to come from him as he approaches the conclusion of his first season at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian international, 23, joined United from Dutch heavyweights Ajax on the final day of last summer's transfer window, joining the club for a fee north of £85million. He was manager Erik ten Hag's top target throughout the summer to strengthen the Reds' wide options and he marked his debut with a goal in a 3-1 win over Arsenal back in September.
To date, the winger has scored eight goals and registered two assists in 37 appearances, meaning he has not produced the numbers that he would have hoped to by this point in the campaign. That, however, is not to say that the Brazilian has not impressed, with his performances in recent weeks having carried plenty of promise and encouragement.
